Can I file for my sister and her whole family to the US?

I am a US citizen and wish to bring my sister over to the US with her family. She lives with her spouse and 2 children. What's the best way to bring them all here?

As a US citizen you can file an I-130 for your sister now.  However, it will be a long process.....like 20 years.  Visa numbers are limited for siblings.   Those who have priority dates in early June 2007 are just now eligible for visa numbers.

Thank you. But can I file for her family alongside her?

I don't think you can sponsor your brother in law or sister's kids. Clearly they're going to be over 21 when visa would become availble.

 

Your sister would sponsor them after coming to the US and becoming a resident / citizen. It's so far in the future we don't even know if the laws would change then.

No

 

You apply for her, when the Priority Date becomes current any Spouse or minor children can be included.
